Why Should You Read Rich Dad Poor Dad?

Explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to become rich—especially in a world where technology, robots, and a global economy are changing the rules

Challenges the belief that your house is an asset—as millions of people learned first-hand wehn the housing bubble burst and the sub-prime mortgage fiasco raged

Explains what to teach your kids about money—so they can be prepared for the challenges and opportunities of today's world and enjoy the rich life they deserve

"This is another classic book by Kyoasaki. I have read them all and this one is one of my favorites. His books have changed my life and the way I think about money and my quality of life. His best is Rich Dad Poor Dad which sets the foundation for his other reads. This book reflects the evolution of his thinking since his first book in 1997. There is some repetion from his other books; but, there should be. The foundation has not changed. His education has evolved. It allowed me to review my path and whether I am attaining assets or income, creating liabilities or income that will stand the test of time etc. The basic philosophy of this book is that ""a coin has three sides. Heads, tails and the edge."" If you learn to live on the edge, you will see both sides of a situation. You can then decide what is right for you. He also makes some good arguments as to the inadequacy of our education system and our government. His theories provoke you to think. It is a very interesting read and I cannot wait for his next. If you are new to Robert, my favorites are Rich Dad Poor Dad, the Cash Flow Quadrant, The Midas Touch and Second Chance. They have all changed my business and led to much success both financially and in quality of my life."

Reminds us why we can't count on the school system to teach or kids about money—and why this critical life skill is more important today than ever

Teaches why acquiring and building assets can be more important to your future than a big paycheck—and the tax advantages investors and business owners enjoy

"There is no political correctness here. While I'm not sure about impending doom, I appreciate his candid historical explanations about our education and financial systems. I have always considered Robert a genius when it came to the cash flow quadrant, definition of an asset and how to reach financial freedom by having your passive income exceed your expenses. Here it all is in one book. I used to recommend Rich Dad, Poor Dad but now I just recommend this book."

D.C., Amazon reviewer

Start minding your own business. Keep your daytime job, but start buying real assets, not liabilities or personal effects that have no real value once you get them home. A new car loses nearly 25 percent of the price you pay for it the moment you drive it off the lot. It is not a true asset even if your banker lets you list it as one. My $400 new titanium driver was worth $150 the moment I teed off.

Summary of Rich Dad Poor Dad

The rich don't work for money

Learn the mind-melting truth behind how the rich live a life of luxury while the poor and middle-class languish at jobs they hate earning barely enough money to cover their daily expenses.

Why teach financial literacy?

Answer: Because financial education isn't taught in school.

Uncover the truth behind the saying "it's not how much you make but how much you keep" that makes people rich.

"Robert has such a way of weaving financial knowledge into a great story. His use of questions and answers is brilliant, and though I had never heard of Bucky Fuller now I feel him as inspirational in both Robert's life but so many others too. I now want to touch more lives and find my road to successfully "changes lives". Thank you Robert Kiyosaki, you're given us the tools to be better."

Mind your own business

Just because you have a profession, doesn't mean it's your business. Financial struggle is often the direct result of people working all their lives for someone else. Discover the difference to live a life of abundance.

The history of taxes and the power of corporation

Was Robin Hood a saint or a crook? How you answer that question could explain your financial status. Understand why it's the poor and middle-class that pays the most in taxes and how to pay taxes like the rich instead.

"Great book, it really opens your eyes to what's really happening and why it feels like the US government isn't working for the (majority) of the people. He outlines facts that you can research on your own to verify if it's true, that's what I like most about this book. I recommend this."

NoCoFoCo, Amazon reviewer

The rich invent money

It's not the smartest who get ahead but the bold. Discover your genius and convert fear into power and brilliance.

Work to learn—don't work for money

The world is full of highly educated people. Perhaps you're one of them. But getting good grades in school doesn't necessarily equate to a rich life. Uncover the one skill that can make or break your financial life.

"I just finished this book and it gives a very refreshing insight to the current conditions of becoming wealthy and what one can do to get rich with nothing. The book offered some of the same advice as Rich Dad Poor Dad, but it is good to revisit these concepts because repetition is the mother of learning. The book is divided into the past, present and future and really gives great insight into what you can do to hedge against the currency crisis."

Shelle W., Amazon reviewer

Overcoming obstacles

There are five primary obstacles that limit people from achieving the life they desire.

Getting started

Utilize the financial genius hidden within yourself to layout your plan to financial freedom. Follow the 10-steps within this chapter to discover where to search for hidden treasures buried right before your eyes.

""This book is really good, full of wisdom of action steps to achieve financial freedom. It was totally worth the money. Most books just give the same old advice like go to school, get a job, work hard, save money, your house is an asset, live below your means, get out of debt and retire poor. This book gives you THE OPPOSITE of what most financial planners tell you and it shows how the real REALLY make money. If you want to be rich, listen to rich people, not poor people.""

Rich Dad Poor Dad Author

Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad - the international runaway bestseller that has held a top spot on the New York Times bestsellers list for over six years - is an investor, entrepreneur and educator whose perspectives on money and investing fly in the face of conventional wisdom. He has, virtually single-handedly, challenged and changed the way tens of millions, around the world, think about money.

In communicating his point of view on why 'old' advice - get a good job, save money, get out of debt, invest for the long term, and diversify - is 'bad' (both obsolete and flawed) advice, Robert has earned a reputation for straight talk, irreverence and courage.
